Little Ralbert Drawing I Did. I Need You All To Understand How Much I Love These Two (either Platonically

Whichever cameraman in the livesies proshot that decided to focus so much on Sky Flaherty is my favorite person ever thank you for your service

Also whichever choreographer put him in the front so much.

The wasp in the length of my arm - Oh hi so long no full piece. Well this is a redraw I’ve been meaning to do for the longest time. I don’t do redraws too much because to be honest I cannot say if I like the lost recent one better or the older original version. There’s always something so charming about the things you do when you’re experimenting and they feel less polished and honest. That being said I have been thinking about this piece a lot because I did this around four years ago (in the middle of the pandemic) and it felt to important to me, in a personal sense and also because I longed to go out and live in the real world. Sufjan is of course forever a favorite of mine and I could talk for hours about his work. I wanted to revisit this piece.

My challenge right now is not letting my innie-cam (haha severance reference) take over my whole life. I need to nurture my outer existence and that what is most important to me which is, making art. Hope you sufjan fans still enjoy this version. Love.

a little ralbert for the soul

here’s the pinterest reference image (which i color dropped from bc i refuse to learn color theory sorry)

and below is the timelapse bc I love when ppl share them. it’s cropped weird pls ignore lol

the urge to write canon newsies fics is strong but my brain won’t let me start unless I have researched EVERYTHING like everything needs to be SO SO historically accurate and who has time for that?

this is somewhat strange but I built a lot of the newsies in the sims and I had to download a separate mod because sim albert kept getting expelled and I couldn't keep him in school

deeply in character I fear

OMG YOUR ART IS SO PRETTYYYY 💙💙

could you perhaps do blink x mush (92sies) or jack x sarah 🥺👉👈

:0 Thank you!! <3333 :DD

of course love any excuse to learn more and draw the other newsies

Messenger Boy; Blue Button Baby

Shameless plug for the Outsider's fic I just wrote, centered on Two-Bit's perspective on getting jumped.

I wanted to explore his feelings about being injured by a girl (grappling with his own judgements of femininity and also his sister, who has always wanted to be 'pretty' like a Soc girl), his shame around being used as a message, and his fear for his family.

I've always loved the complexity of Two-Bit having a loving family, and his getting jumped is a detail I'm so glad got added into the musical.

There is also incredibly vague Marbit if that's ur thing.

Anyways, check it out if you're interested!

my roman empire is the way the seize the day fight scene is shot in livesies, like ZOOM OUT PLEASE I want to see the staging.

I love fight choreography. criminal to take that away from me.

The truth about the moon :D

i just saw the outsiders musical (no understudies) so get so excited for all of my opinions.

it may take awhile for me to process and post all of them, but while i was watching i was sooo focused on body language when singing, especially in the emotionally heavy songs where there isn’t any dancing.

like both soda and johnny MOVE. their whole bodies shift when they breathe and sing, but soda it feels like the movement causes the singing where johnny’s singing moves him. it gives them both a carefree quality, which makes sense for soda and is so devastating for johnny.

and cherry, darry, dally, and pony are so still. they are all incredible dancers but when they sing it’s so focused in their faces (maaaybe the shoulders). it gives such gravity to everything they do, and makes all the movement that does happen feel so precise and intentional.

the contrast kills me. i can’t explain it, but it characterizes them so well, like of course soda is always moving, and johnny can’t help but be moved. of course darry and dally are so controlled. of course cherry is afraid to show her true emotions. of course pony is more analytical and thoughtful: he’s the one telling the story.

anyways. stay tuned for more.
